2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 runs October 24–26
Event is opening round of inaugural Supercars Finals series
Groove Armada, Stafford Brothers, Brooke Evers headline acts
Session times have been released for the 2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, as the streets of Surfers Paradise prepare to host the first round of the inaugural Supercars Finals Series from October 24-26.
This year marks a historic shift in the Repco Supercars Championship, with the top 10 drivers entering the Gold Coast round with points reset for a three-round showdown to decide the 2025 champion.
While all 24 full-time entrants will compete in the two-250-kilometre races, only the top 10 will be eligible to win the championship, with the lowest three scoring finalists eliminated after Sunday’s Race 29 on the Gold Coast.
Week-long fan activities will take place leading into this year’s event, including the annual transporter parade through Main Beach on Wednesday, October 22 and the all-driver signing session at the iconic Surfers Paradise sign on Thursday, October 23.
Other exciting additions to the race week program will be announced in the coming weeks.
On-track action kicks off Friday, with the Repco Supercars Championship joined by Porsche Carrera Cup, Toyota GR Cup Australia, and Aussie Racing Cars on the support card.
The weekend will feature two 250-kilometre Supercars races— Race 28 on Saturday and Race 29 on Sunday — each preceded by Boost Mobile Qualifying and the Boost Mobile Top Ten Shootout.
Fans will be treated to wild drifting and burnout displays in entertainment sessions throughout the weekend, as well as plans for the Toyota GR Supra Supercar prototype to hit the circuit amid preparations for its Championship debut in 2026.
There will also be daily Pit Lane Walks during this year’s event, allowing fans to get up close with the team garages and high-energy Pit Lane environment on race day.
The party continues after the chequered flag with Friday night entertainment led by DJs Stafford Brothers and Brooke Evers, while international electronic group Groove Armada will headline Saturday night’s festivities on-stage on Macintosh Island.
The 2024 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 welcomed a weekend attendance of 197,949, reaffirming its place as Queensland’s largest annual sporting event, contributing $60 million annually to the local economy.
Construction of the 2.96-kilometre street circuit began earlier this week, with just over five weeks to go until this year’s highly anticipated event.
The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 will be held October 24-26 and broadcast live on Foxtel and the Seven Network.
The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is supported by the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Major Events Program and Experience Gold Coast.
